Aru, the developer that brought us one of the first modding ability patches, has created a code base that allows you to utilize GTA IV's native functions through C++.

It acts in much the same way as Alexander Blade's Alice project, except instead of using LUA it uses C++, a much more powerful and intuitive programming language. This will once again broaden modding abilities, and hopefully be a stepping stone into some real mission modding.

The download is source code only and is targeted for those that are familiar with C++ programming. If you're a developer that wants to see some mods made or even an optimistic beginner, head over to this GTAForums thread for more information along with a download link!
